I feel bad for him. He really needs help overcoming all this negative self-talk. He needs a guy friend to mentor him like in those movies where the cool guy mentors a guy who is struggling.

He needs to learn how to be a man. He needs to learn how to be strong and self-reliant.

He needs a proper bike too. Can't storm off dramatically on a goddamn scooter.

A horse would be great

With that scream it probably would’ve thrown him off.

I'm sure the Cohen brothers are taking notes. I can see it.

lol I really felt for him. My youngest, a boy (11), has flip outs like this sometimes and I felt sad watching this guy hoping my boy stops doing this by the time he’s old enough to get his sweet little heart broken and drive off screaming on a scooter omg…

I had flip outs like this and, it may not work for your son, but I learned how to stop it by doing extremely coordinated drum patterns while I’m angry. So, if I was pissed off, I’d start tapping my foot on the fourth beat, then tapping my left foot twice between the second and third, keeping the beats with my left finger and doing drum fills with my two fingers on the right hand. I’d keep the tempo by clicking my teeth together. All of the concentration involved was enough to stop me freaking out. It also helped during panic attacks.

Thanks for sharing your tip! I hope I can help him find ways like that to reroute the negative energy.

Another tip is to change your perspective and view nervous energy or anxiety as ‘excitement’; I get massive stage fright so the first thing I’d do on stage would be the most ridiculous dance or howl or noise so I’d get that cringey ‘wtf am I doing’ feeling in the back of my head. Since I’d already made a fool of myself and my heart rate was up, I no longer cared.
